Hugo Gonzalez’s role with the Celtics over the past few weeks has been to sit for three quarters, then come in during the fourth and raise hell. The 19-year-old rookie’s chaotic style of play makes him the perfect man for that job.
In Tuesday's win over the New York Knicks, the job was different. He, along with Jaylen Brown, who scored at an elite level in this one, helped revive the zombies who were wearing green jerseys for the first 12 minutes of this game. Boston trailed by as many as 14 early on; they couldn't score, while the Knicks couldn't miss.
